UPDATE, 7:10 p.m.: Mostly boos, a few cheers and a lot of general indifference as Ellsbury takes his first Yankees at-bat at Fenway.

UPDATE, 7:13 p.m.: So either a fan touched the ball and it's a double, or a fan didn't touch it and it's an inside-the-park home run. How the umpires have settled on a triple is beyond me.

UPDATE, 7:14 p.m.: Is fan interference a judgment call on where the runner ends up? I thought it was an automatic double, but maybe not. Or, I guess obviously not. Ellsbury has a leadoff triple, Jeter has followed with an RBI single and the Yankees have a quick and weird 1-0 lead.

UPDATE, 7:28 p.m.: Yankees take advantage of a triple, a couple of singles, a passed ball and an error to take a 2-0 lead after the first half inning. Here's Tanaka's rivalry debut.
